LA MIRADA >> The Bestway Supermarket in this city closed last week, but it’s expected to be replaced by a Superior Grocers soon, according to city officials.

The Bestway Supermarket, 12721 Valley View Ave., opened in March 2010, going in where a Vons grocery store had been since 1969.

“We’ve known for some time they were planning to leave, but there is another company moving in,” La Mirada City Manager Tom Robinson said. “The company coming in is larger and they should be making a number of improvements. We’re pleased to see the continued investment in the site.”

Robinson said the new Superior store is expected to open some time in October.
